Upon hearing this, Longyuan was speechless.
In the past, he would have had no opportunity to consume this much spiritual energy.
But this time facing Fang Yu, the divine powers and spells he cast indeed consumed too much spiritual energy.
The current situation is beyond his expectations.
And now, he has no means to turn the tide.
The spiritual energy within me is almost completely depleted.
And the pill bottle containing the Great Gathering Spirit Pill fell into Fang Yu’s hands again.
As for the helper… <<>>
Thousands of elite cultivators still lay on the ground, howling in agony. After Fang Yu shattered Zhao Xin Yang’s natal magic weapon, he fell silent.
The current situation… <<<
Although I’m reluctant to admit it, the battle is clearly lost.
He and Zhao Xinyang… were defeated!
…plus the unknown fate of Fu Zheng, who disappeared after going to the third major faction…
The three highest-ranking officials of the fourth department… have all been defeated!
This also means… the fourth one is defeated!
Long Yuan’s heart pounded in his chest as he looked at Fang Yu.
He has come this far, from a low-level cultivator in the Kai Shan Alliance, step by step, until he reached his current position as the highest authority in the fourth department.
For so long, he had never faced such a perilous situation.
“I want to know, are you completely ignorant of the outside world?” Fang Yu looked at Longyuan and asked.
“Fang Yu… what you’re doing now is the crime of exterminating your entire clan!” Long Yuan gritted his teeth and roared, “I advise you to stop while you still can, otherwise, the fury of the overwhelming majority will fall upon you, and you won’t be able to withstand it!”
“The super large ones aren’t as scary as you think.” Fang Yu put down the vial in his hand and said calmly, “I’m not here today to necessarily kill all of you.”
Upon hearing this, Long Yuan’s expression changed, and his eyes looked at Fang Yu with a mixture of surprise and suspicion.
“The battle just now, didn’t it make you understand one thing?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow. “As long as the three major alliances exist, every cultivator among you carries shackles. Even if you fight for the alliance, these shackles are not lifted, they still constantly restrict you.”
Longyuan’s heart skipped a beat, but he remained silent.
“Under normal circumstances, there should be spiritual energy between heaven and earth, no matter how rich or thin it is… In short, once you reach the True Heart Realm, it’s impossible to worry about insufficient spiritual energy.” Fang Yu continued, “Heaven and earth’s spiritual energy should belong to all cultivators, not be controlled by a few powerful people and rely on their handouts.”
Hearing this, Long Yuan had already lowered his head slightly.
He knew what Fang Yu meant.
At the same time, he was not insensitive to it.
But even if there’s discontent, what can be done about it?
The KaiShan Alliance is too powerful, they are simply unable to resist.
Either die or survive.
Faced with such a choice, the vast majority of cultivators would still rather choose to survive.
“Just get to the point. What do you want to say?” Longyuan raised his head slightly and looked at Fang Yu.
“I think you understand now, as I said before, that’s my purpose.” Fang Yu smiled faintly. “I want to control the Fourth Department. Right now, Fu Zheng has been taken into the prison of the Third Department by me. As for you and the other one, you were both defeated by me.”
“As I just said, I can spare your lives, but you must obey my commands.”
“That means you either die, or you hand over control of the Fourth Department… to me.”
After hearing this, Longyuan did not react too violently.
He just lowered his head, seeming to be deep in thought.
A moment later, he looked up again and asked, “What about the third department…?”
“All three of them have accepted the blood pact and become my subordinates,” Fang Yu said. “And they are willingly subservient. Now, it’s your turn to choose.”
Longyuan’s eyes flickered, and after a few seconds of silence, he spoke: “The one you’re going to oppose… is a powerful force that has existed in the Void Realm for many years, its roots run deep, its power spreads throughout the entire Void Realm, and even extends to the outside world… And such forces, there are three in total within the Void Realm. According to past family experience, once something of this magnitude surpasses a certain threshold, the three major alliances will join forces to extinguish it…”
“That means you might have to face a joint attack from all three alliances… Do you have the guts for that?”
“Confidence, of course, but how exactly it will develop, no one can say for sure.” Fang Yu smiled. “Right now, you don’t need to think too much about it. Your choice is simple, there are only two options.”
“Hahaha… Do you think you’re someone?! Do you think you can control all the major factions? Do you think you can resist the Kaisan Alliance?! I’m telling you, you’re dreaming! I’ve already sent a message to Lord Bajuan, he’ll be here soon with his men to wipe you out! Want to rebel?! Just you?!”
At that moment, a wild laugh echoed from afar.
The voice, coming from Zhao Xin Yang, rang out.
At this moment, blood still stained his chin, and there was no color on his face.
But it seemed that because he had already informed Ba Yuan, he was very confident and showed no fear whatsoever.
“Whoosh!”
Fang Yu vanished before Long Yuan’s eyes in a flash.
Longyuan widened his eyes and looked at Zhaoxianyang’s position.
In the next instant, Fang Yu appeared before Zhao Xin Yang.
Even the smile on Zhao Xinyang’s face hadn’t faded yet.
In front of him, Fang Yu’s fist, radiating with golden light, had already been swung out.
<>
“Ouch… Boom!”
His scream came out and then abruptly stopped.
“Boom…”
An explosion sound rang out from the sky.
Fang Yu’s punch directly shattered Zhao Xin Yang’s body into pieces.
Without even a splash of blood, the entire body turned to ashes and vanished.
His scent, completely gone.
“There’s less than one-fifth of his spiritual energy left, yet he can still laugh so loudly. Who gave him the courage?” Fang Yu retracted his right fist, which was emitting wisps of white air, and muttered to himself, “Is it Ba Yuan? Did Ba Yuan give him some kind of drug that made him mentally unstable?”
Long Yuan looked at Fang Yu, his eyes full of astonishment.
Whoosh!
Fang Yu returned to Long Yuan’s side again.
“Alright, this is your last chance. Choose to live or choose to die,” Fang Yu said. “Don’t expect Ba Yuan, he’s too far away to help. By the time he gets here, your ashes will be scattered to the wind.”
At this moment, Longyuan truly had no other choice.
And after witnessing Fang Yu’s strength… a flame of ambition burned in his heart.
If Fang Yu were truly successful…
“I… I am willing to follow you.” Longyuan spoke without hesitation.
“Not bad, you’re much smarter than that guy.” Fang Yu smiled and nodded slightly.
Next, he had Longyuan undergo a blood pact.
While leaving a mark on Longyuan, Fang Yu also recalled that he…also had marks left by the strange people of Minglou on his body.
At that time, he also accepted the blood pact.
However, a blood pact is a terrible thing for ordinary cultivators and is an unbreakable curse.
